Dear xxx,
I will be happy to help you. I am sure that you can write a good chess
book.
The book should be a standard size. The best size is 6 x 9. Another
good size is 5.5 x 8.5. Try to avoid unusual sizes. Standard sizes are
important because book distributors ship them in standard sized boxes
and book stores put them together with other books that size. Nobody is
going to bother with a book that is odd-ball size.
There needs to be an even number of pages. Otherwise one page will have
to be left blank.
The book will need to be in PDF Format. If you do not know how to do
that I can help you.
I will assign an ISBN Number and create a barcode for the book. No
major booksore will sell a book nowadays that does not have an ISBN
Number and a barcode.
I have published or reprinted 14 books within the past six months. One
of these came out yesterday. Two more will be out within a week. I have
also published 12 DVDs.
All of these books are for sale on Amazon. Here is a list.

Tanstaafl has cost the USCF a lot of money by filing a 400
page ethics complaint IN COLOR, requiring the USCF office
to make at least 10 COLOR COPIES of this 400 page
complaint, at great cost to the USCf.
That alone has already cost the USCF about one thousand
dollars.
I told you before, Mr. Sloan, that I took steps to minimize the
USCF's expenses. I don't know why you don't want to belive me
-- I'm not the one with a reputation for making up my "facts".
samsloan wrote:
Almost the entire ethics complaint by Tanstaalf a/k/a Vaughn
has been dismissed by the Ethics Committee as frivolous,
although five of his allegations remain. (Those five I will be
able to refute easily).
Deciding they didn't want to take jurisdiction is not the same as
deciding you weren't guilty... And it's certainly not the same as
deciding the charges were frivolous! Just another Sam Sloan
"NON-fact".
samsloan wrote:
Tanstaafl got admitted as a delegate to the meeting in
Chicago due to a mistake caused by inexperience by Pat
Knight. (Had Rachel Lieberman, who traditionally has
handled the delegate certification process, been on the
job, Vaughn would never have been certified as a delegate.)
Not true. I have every reason to believe that this was perfectly
proper and that the normal procedures were used.
samsloan wrote:
Having gotten in by mistake, Vaughn then tied up the
meeting with endless motions and speeches. He spoke
more than any other delegate. Two of his motions passed,
one more was referred to a committee, and all of this has
cost the USCF money.
This is a gross exaggeration. What two motions of mine are
you saying passed? I'll bet one of them WASN'T mine -- just
normal Sam Sloan exaggeration.

You're showing yourself to be quite "math challenged", Mr. Sloan.
Fortunately, the forum software keeps up with these things and it
can tell you that I've averaged 2.5 posts per day. Less than half
of these have involved YOU. Just click on my name (when it
appears as a link) and you'll see the average number of posts. A
quick search will show how many times my posts have been
about you -- again, less than half.

Only to somebody you've fooled with your NON-facts.

the board, who has thus far done nothing since he got
elected except spend our money needlessly, supports him.
Sam Sloan
I'd wager that Joel has cost us FAR less than you have, with
FAR more to show for it. Tell everybody, just exactly what did
the USCF get out of defending itself against your lawsuit? What
did it get for all the "investigations" you had everybody doing on
the 2005 candidates filing fees? ...

This not true. I have been informed that Mr. Vaughn brought his own
color printer to the USCF office and made 10 copies of the original
under the supervision of staff, at his own expense. Since then, two
copies have been made at USCF expense - one to replace a copy
that went missing in the mail on the way to a member of the Ethics
Committee and second which was the one sent to Sam Sloan.

[quote="joelchanning"][quote="tanstaafl"] The ONLY reason the USCF
hasn't already been sued for Mr. Sloan's statements is apparently that
the people being attacked care more about the USCF than Sam Sloan does.
He damages the reputation of the USCF as a whole with practically
every statement he makes.

Amen. Joel Channing[/quote]
It is interesting that Joel Channing supports both Tanstaafl, whose

[quote="jacklemoine"]He wrote a bunch of books. Okay, that is an
accomplishment So now what?
What is the Sam Sloan leadership program for improving chess?[/quote]
In fact, I do have been plans for the USCF which are, in short, to take
over the world.
However, for the time being, I have to have much more modest goals.
Right now, I need to be like the Little Dutch Boy who stuck his finger
in the Dyke.
You must know the story, but if you do not, Holland is majority below
sea level, but they keep their country going by building huge dykes to
keep out the water.
One day, a little boy on his way to school, saw a small hole in the
dyke with water slowly trickling through.
He realized that if the flow of water was not stopped, soon the small
hole would be bigger, then the dyke would collapse, and then the whole
country would drown.
So, he stuck his finger in the hole in the dyke.
In this way, he saved the dyke and in so doing he saved the town and
the country.
Eventually, the people of the area realized what was happening, so they
rushed to plug up the hole, although, by that time, the little boy was
dead.
Like the little boy, I am trying to keep my finger in the hole in the
dyke.
This means that:
1. I am trying to stop Joel Channing from putting into effect any more
of his wild spending schemes.
2. I am trying to alert the membership to be prepared for another huge
financial loss this year and for the possibility that there will be no
US Championship this year or else a much scaled down version as
compared with previous years.
3. The price I have to pay for this is constant and repeated attacks on
me by Channing and Goichberg, so I have to withstand this and hold my
ground.
I have been to some limited extent successful. There have been no more
crazy boondoggles by Channing. At the board meeting on November 17-18,
2006, Channing proposed that we all go on another "Retreat". I shot
that down by saying that as long as we were going to blow some more of
the membership dues money, we might as well do it big time and go to
Aruba (although I was actually hoping for Shanghai so that I could look
up some of my old Chinese girlfriends, who would help me shanghai
Channing over there.)
On point number two above, Goichberg still claims that the USCF will be
profitable this year or at least break even and that something will
turn up which will enable the US Championship to take place as he has
scheduled it.
Ha. Ha. Let's see how that one turns out.
On number three, I am standing my ground and will continue to do so,
but Goichberg is spending a lot of the USCF's money trying to have me
thrown out of office or else not be re-elected. Only time will tell how
that will turn out.
